+ 1 I do not know how to really describe the bass. Its not basshead bass for certain. You have to listen to it to experience. Its very deep but very tight as well as it should be. On tracks that do not have midbass but only lower /subbass ( Like acoustic songs) you could feel the rumble but retains the perfect clarity of the mids. Its more of a quality bass than quantity bass (not that quantity is not enough); it is always poised and composed to produce deep bass but controls it with confidence with fast decays but still lingers with some reverbs for me how AT tuned it to strike the balance of decay and reverberation is damn perfect for my taste.
Yup I also felt IM50 had messy bass; needs more quality, I prefered the IM70 way more to IM50. But to me ckr9s are way ahead of the IM70 themselves. I haven't heard IM02/03/04 yet.
Oh yeah ckrs9 are not $300. I got them for $210 and I read from the thread today someone may have gotten it for $190 if I'm not mistaken. I'd just wish you can try them in length and give a review. I hope more credible people get to listen to them. As of right now I know only Ericp10,vlenbo and Earfonia.
Back to DGS100. I will wait for more impressions to come in. Since its a more in
your face sort of sig, it might be similar to ckr9s. Its said to have decent amount of bass, I am curious how they will compare. If they are any close I will get one after I get my budget amp and Cayin C5s
